He did a lot of great things and its hard to just say goodbye after one bad year and its one where he was out a full season due to injury. It would be like kicking someone out of your house because they got fired after making a million a year for 4 years straight. Lets keep Frank, he's a force in the lineup and is a great on base guy, which is always something you can use to score runs.

and no I ain't talking about Pitchers of beer, lol. How many pitchers do you think KW should add or will add? I'm going to say we could definately use two starters but can get away with just one as long as he is a damn good starter that can win 20 games for us.

Ah Yes, the infamous inside joke. I think its there just to make other people feel uncomfortable.

Who cares what the pub is, cause we will all know he did it and give him a huge congratulations for it.

As far as another pitcher that I would like it would be Andy Pettite and a Yankee top prospect or something like that and then go out and sign a pitcher like Maddux. Of course I don't really like Pettite, but its a possibility.

A lot of them see him as a young Ventura while someone like me sees him more like a Scott Rolen.

We have a strong minor league system. Still, I do feel that we aren't the only team to undergo pitching injuries. It happens to everyteam. If you look at the Cubs, they have lost Ben Christensen, Scott Schiasson, Steve Smyth, and a couple others due to injury the past two seasons down in the minors.

Alright, we could package those two to someone like the Braves and try to get a pitcher from them.

How about Lee, Foulke, and Johnson or Paul to Baltimore for Sidney Ponson. That gives us one good pitcher thats young and is a real workhorse as well as frees up salary so we can still sign another pitcher.

Good to hear Frank is happy with staying and expects to play with the Sox. I'm glad the fans gave him a good ovation and I wish he was able to do more in that at bat. I know one thing and thats that I am going to miss Thomas if he isn't around next year wearing a Sox uni. Think if Thomas finds his old form and he comes close to 2000 and then look at Maggs current numbers and if he pulls them too, then we would have two potent potent mvp threats.

I know. SI did an awesome job keeping everything updated for me. I got home hoping to catch the last couple innings and ended up realizing the game was over, lol. Wrights doing damn good.

What would you rather do Dump Frank and keep Caballo and Foulke or dump them two and Keep Frank. I got to say if Frank can stay healthy and produce, I'll dump the other two and then add a frontline pitcher that way and try to add a left handed reliever or a lower price reliever to replace him.

I don't listen to Jesse Jackson, I ignore every damn thing that comes out of his mouth. Moss could get up to 24 months in jail though.

Thanks for the article LDF. The guy I want to see up here next year is Joe Valentine. That guy is filthy and can be a great attidition to our bullpen. I also hope that Malone can get things figured out cause he has amazing stuff, especially for a lefty. I don't think we'll see him next year, but I'd like to see him figure things out in AA, then get some action in AAA. Olivo, he's also going to be up for us next year. The way I see it, 2 of the Barons will be playing a lot for us next year.

That works for me. I like Keith though and I want to have Valentine up here too. He's going to be damn good.

I think Reynolds had more of a back injury then an arm injury. Yep, you are right though, they do need a full season, heck even Curt Schilling needed a full season.

I don't think they do it, but as I say this i also think things could change and they will pull it. If the question is keeping Frank and his salary or dumping him and picking up a starting pitcher, then to me they have to invoke it.

If we deal Foulke to the Yanks, I want Mendoza in return or one of their top notch outfield prospects and a pitching prospect.

Owl, it will be interested what Joe can do during a full season. Will teams figure him out or will he keep getting better. Maybe he'll have a Pujols like first season.

Awesome job guys. I got home from school and it was over, but thanks to this detailed skit I got the jist of the game. Thanks a ton everyone.

The game will be on WGN at 1:05 central time against the Boston Red Sox. Its the rubber game of the series. Josh Hancock will go up against Danny Wright. Hancock has pitched 2 major league innings and this will be his first major league start. If anyone can update this for the start of the game I'd appreciate it, cause I'll be in class. Thanks

Thats fine. As long as we only quote the article and not use the article in its full form. I called up a friend of the family whose a copyright attorney and he told me that we shouldn't post a full article, but just a quote or a link. This way we don't get in trouble with the law cause I'd hate to see MLB come after us.

Nope, the Mariners aren't eliminated yet. They need a M's loss or one more Angel win.

He's been out most of the season with an injury, but he's gonna be 100% for next year and is a damn good pitcher and a great leader. I'd imagine he'd have a cheaper price tag then Maddux or Clemens so I'd think that the Sox may end up consider someone like him. Personally I'd take him cause he's a lot better then what we got on the most part.

Has he finally realized that Matt Ginter blows? I have to say, I'm real glad I haven't seen Ginter pitch in a while or at least it seems like he hasn't been in there during the past week at least. He now joins Jim Parque on the "not gonna be used" portion of the bench.
